Board of Agriculture, Wilfred Wheeler, 

 secretary. This is a very complete 

 manual on Apple Growing and will be 

 found full of interest and reliable in- 

 formation tor anyone engaged in or 

 thinking of engaging in the apple grow- 

 ing industry. Apple growing in Mass- 

 achusetts has received a great stimulus 

 within the past ten years and this book 

 will do much towards invigorating and 

 extending the movement. There are 

 258 pages, fully indexed and illustrated 

 by many plates. 



The American Rose Annual, pub- 

 lished by the American Rose Society, 

 edited by J. Horace McFarland. an ad- 

 vance copy of which is received at the 

 office of HoRTicuLTUKE, is now ready 

 for distribution to the members of the 

 society. Progressiveness is stamped 

 on every page of this publication and 

 its effect will be very stimulating for 

 American rose growing in and for 

 America, both in the raising of new 

 varieties and the production of plants 

 for the general trade. The articles 

 and illustrations have all been focused 

 on this aim. That the importation of 

 roses is regarded as of major impor- 

 tance and that the promotion of ama- 

 teur rose exhibitions is a paramount 

 duty is well set forth and valuable sug- 

 gestions regarding the management of 

 such shows are made. In addition to 

 the continuance of the careful survey 

 of rose troubles— begun last year — the 

 start of an accurate catalogue of roses 

 has been made in this year's Annual. 

 The membership list shows an in- 

 crease in associate or amateur mem- 

 bers beyond 2,000 per cent and the 

 membership as a whole, includins 

 trade and life members, has more than 

 quadrupled within the year. 



FOR BLIGHT-IMMUNE CHESTNUT 

 TREES. 



The possibility for continued growth 

 of chestnut trees in the United States, 

 in the face of the rapid spread of the 

 destructive chestnut bligjit, may de- 

 pend mainly upon replacing of the 

 susceptible native trees by disease- 

 resistant strains and hybrids bred 

 from Asiatic stock. This is pointed 

 out by plant pathologists of the U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture who have 

 made exhaustive studies of the disease 

 in field and laboratory durin? the last 

 five years. Four generations of cross- 

 bred Japanese chestnuts of a very 

 early bearing type, producing nuts 

 when two or three years old, have 

 already been grown, and the varietal 

 characters appear to be well fixed. 

 Some of the Chinese chestnuts are 

 said to grow nearly 100 feet high In 

 their home forests, and it may be pos- 

 sible by their use to replace in some 

 measure our vanishing native chestnut 

 stands and perhaps develop superior 

 varieties during the process of accli- 

 matization.
